"No...no...no...NOOOOOO!

I FAILED YOU AGAIN!"

Chat Blanc wailed with raw agony, collapsing to his knees in defeat and head bowed down to the ground in utter shame. He wouldn't dare to meet her gaze, he absolutely cannot.

Anguished, painful sobs wrecked through his body as he muttered apologies over and over again like a mantra, claws digging into the beam he was stranded on. The world was deaf to the ugly sounds of sharp claws tearing through metal and the broken cries of the lone boy.

The Ladybug miraculous remained broken and destroyed ahead of him, red static buzzing around it as the atmosphere turned to lead and the environment began to warp ethereally as well as monstrously.

Though he was blind to it all, surrounded by his sorrows and mistakes.

Marinette clutched a fist to her chest whilst she watched her miraculous decompose in horror. Then, she eyed her crushed partner, the boy refusing to budge from his spot.

His finger merely brushed the shell of her earrings mid-fight, no cataclysm or any form of ancient destruction involved.

Yet, somehow it prompted the jewels to burn her ears and fall onto the beam in a deadly clatter, detransforming her in an instant with no red kwami in sight.

This was not supposed to happen!

"Marinette...My Lady...I'm so sorry..." Chat curled into a ball, trying to make himself look as small as possible, oblivious to the alien whirring noise emitted by the broken jewels and the sea twisting to the colour of blood whilst the moon crumbled into nothing, disappearing from the sky.

He expected her to yell.

He expected her to hit him.

He expected her to push him off the beam.

He believed he deserved it all.

Instead, tentative, warm hands cupped his face and palmed his cheeks, allowing him to see the soft, heartbroken smile on Marinette's face which was mere centimetres away from his.

The boy couldn't halt the gasp that escaped his lips, hands now clutching her shoulders like she was his lifeline and claws digging into her shoulderblades with enough pressure to prove to himself she was real without hurting her. Blanc's heightened supernatural senses enabled him to sense the blood coursing through her veins and her calming heartbeat.

After everything, everything, why was she looking at him like he was the most beautiful being in the world?

"M-M-Marinette..." His voice was nothing but an excruciating whisper, hoarse from his screams. "What have I done?" The girl simply brushed her fingers through his stark white locks lovingly, leaning her forehead against his with so much tenderness and let her tears fall free, cascading down her rosy cheeks.

"It's okay Chat Noir, I won't let you be alone anymore...I'll be with you forever and ever," She kissed his forehead gently, her ears and nose starting to bleed from the dip of the infra-sound and the uncanny changes in the environment. She started to become lightheaded and fatigued.

The loss of the Goddess of Creation has caused the universe to self destruct and it was a matter of precious minutes before everything they knew and loved was gone forever...

"I'm sorry that I couldn't save you..." She broke down, small whimpers and sniffles escaping her yet she refused to loosen her hold on her partner. "I'm sorry I let you down, mon Chaton..." She trailed her lips from his head and kissed him on his cheeks, his sad eyelids, his nose and then paused before his lips, taking her time to savour what could possibly be their last moment.

"You and me...against the world, Marinette..." Chat Blanc's solemn lips were brushing hers now, the contact causing butterflies to flutter in her stomach innocently.

"Heh...you and me against the world..."

"Adrien. Your Adrien,"

Marinette felt her heart splutter and squeeze before melancholy shook her body, causing her to bury her face into his shoulder from the irony of everything and scream his name with such painful sadness; it shattered what was left of Blanc's heart.

"Yes! You...you and me! You and me against the world, Adrien! Oh, Adrien!"

Marinette immediately faced Chat Blanc again, crying and laughing hysterically, leaning into his lips for her first and final ki-

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
